Interesting fact

The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Silver (.917) weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles I (also known as Charles V), who was the king of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor from 1536 to 1556. This coin was likely used as a means of currency during his reign and is a piece of history that has been preserved to this day.
